The Monument Erected in Barcelona in 1954 in Honor of Archer Milton Huntington, the Founder of The Hispanic Society of America, and His Wife, Anna Hyatt Huntington, the Eminent Sculptress.

It was in 1954 that Barcelona became the first city to pay tribute to Archer Milton Huntington (New York, 1870 - Bathel, Connecticut, 1955), by erecting a monument to the memory of this outstanding collector and Hispanist, and to hiswife, Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington (Cambridge, 1876 - California, 1973). An excellent sculptor, Anna Hyatt Huntington was also unstinting in her support of her husband¿s Hispanic interest. The monument was Barcelona's way of recognizing and paying tribute to this greatly respected American collector and philanthropist. Huntington played a major role in refuting "Prescott's Paradigm", named after the historian whose work on Spain did much to further the Black Legend.3 Moreover, Huntington occupied an important place in American Hispanic Studies, along with such other outstanding names as George Ticknor (Boston, 1791 - 1871), Washington Irving (New York, 1783 - 1859) and Henry Longfellow (1807 - 1882).

Urbanisme i monument a Catalunya en la segona meitat del segle XIX

Els canvis socials i economics ocorreguts durant el segle XIX van comportar la introducció d'importants transformacions urbanístiques per adequar la ciutat a les noves necessitats dominants. Diversos problemes de la ciutat reclamaven la recerca de solucions urgents: la millora de la viabilitat dels nuclis urbans, les precaries condicions de vida en els barris obrers -denunciades reiteradament- o, en fi, la necessitat d'encabir la creixent població urbana. La resposta, el conjunt de mesures urbanístiques encaminades a pal·liar aquests déficits, es concreta en la redacció dels plans de reforma i eixample aprovats per la majoria de ciutats catalanes durant la segona meitat del segle.
